This is the first time I hear of this requirement. It has not so far
been a design goal for the conversions in 2to3. The workflow that I
have in mind (and that others have agreed to be workable) is more like
this:

1. develop working code under 2.6
2. make sure it is warning-free with the special -Wpy3k option
3. use 2to3 to convert it to 3.0 compatible syntax in a temporary directory
4. run your unit test suite with 3.0
5. for any defects you find, EDIT THE 2.6 SOURCE AND GO BACK TO STEP 2
